A little update for the family-
-I have thoroughly enjoyed this week with Tyson. Besides having to figure out all his school stuff, he was able to be home a lot with Aiden and me. He is super helpful around the house and helped get everything organized after moving. He is also such a good dad. I'm sure Aiden enjoyed him as much as I did. :)
- On Thursday we had a get together at a lake with all the GAs(graduate assistants).  We all brought food to share and the "assistant dean" over all the graduate students brought a boat. It was fun to see who Tyson will be working with.
-My mom and Holli came to visit Thursday. Holli needed to go MISSION shopping. woot woot! It was a short trip but SO MUCH FUN! We all went to see 17 Miracles. I had already seen it but wanted them to see it and they LOVED it.
-My mom brought up a bunch of veggies from her garden for us to eat. I was in heaven.
-Tyson and I discovered that Netflix has 8 seasons of The Cosby Show. I almost fell out of my chair! I loooooove the Cosby Show. We have been watching episodes off and on. That is one FUNNY man.
-Aiden has turned 3 months! He has learned to fling himself backwards if he doesn't like something. oh joy. He also has started to lift his bum in the air when he is lying on his back and kick his legs at the same time to scoot away a little bit. This is especially frustrating when we are changing his diaper. ha ha

Miss you all! Hope you have a great week!

17 Miracles

Have you heard of this movie? 

It's INCREDIBLE. 
It depicts the miracles that happened along the trail of the Willie handcart company.  
It is so inspiring. If you haven't seen it yet, you can visit www.17miracles.com to find out what theaters it's playing in. 
I HIGHLY recommend it!

"What's been going on lately" post #3: LOAR REUNION

Here are TONS of pictures of the Loar reunion. It was so much fun!!!


We get a little out of control...
but that is how we like it!



I just CAN'T WAIT till next year!

Fried Rice anyone?

Tyson loves chicken and he loves rice.
BUT even more- he LOVES sweet and sour chicken with fried rice.
I make sweet and sour chicken a lot but never fried rice. 
He's been begging me for ages to make it. 
This is my FIRST attempt.


Tyson is in HEAVEN!

"What's been going on lately" post #2: Washington D.C.

My family went to Washington D.C. the last week of July. It had been a super stressful week because we had to be moved out of our apartment before we left. We even brought Aiden along. He did great on the flight! I am SOOOOOO glad. Here are just a bunch of pictures. It was an incredible experience. One that I hope everyone can have at least once in their life.
